First Major Public Victory for the Oakland Climate Action Coalition!

Great News! On Tuesday, June 23rd, the Public Works Committee Hearing approved a preliminary GHG reduction goal of 36% below 2005 levels by 2020 and 83% cut by 2050, as well as agreed to add language on annual reductions!

The Oakland Climate Action Coalition came out in force with a bevy of articulate and passionate speakers including Nile Malloy - CBE, Danny Kennedy - Sungevity, Aaron Lehmer -Bay Localize, Dana Paredes -ACRJ, Mari Rose Taruc - APEN, Dave Room - Local Clean Energy Alliance, and Emily Kirsch - EBC.

This is important because the Targets the City sets now will determine which and how many of the coalition's policies are implemented.

The targets now go to the July 7th City Council meeting. Take action:
